With fuel prices only going skyward due to the ongoing West Asia conflict, the frugal and hardy machines in the 100cc-110cc motorcycle segment make a stronger case for themselves today. These motorcycles offer what most Indian buyers need from an everyday commuter: affordability, fuel efficiency, low running costs and simple, durable mechanicals. At the same time, motorcycles in this segment also provide slightly better performance and highway usability than bikes with engines smaller than 100cc, without moving into much more expensive territory. Keeping that in mind, for this list, we have strictly considered only motorcycles with engine capacities between 100cc and 110cc, which means even motorcycles with engines slightly smaller than 100cc have not been included. Here are the most affordable 100cc-110cc bikes in India that are currently on sale. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi, and the bikes are listed in ascending order of price.

A newly surfaced Yamaha patent application overseas, indicates the company is exploring deeper integration between radar-based rider assistance systems and semi-automatic transmissions. Patent application shows integration of radar-based rider aids and semi-automatic gearbox System can automatically downshift during adaptive cruise control intervention Tech aims to improve stability and braking performance during deceleration Yamaha adaptive cruise patent: what does it show? In simple terms, the system aims to automatically downshift and use engine braking during deceleration. The thinking behind the system is fairly straightforward: if the motorcycle already has radar, electronically controlled braking systems and an automated gearbox, Yamaha’s patent suggests the gearbox could help slow the bike too. The patent outlines a setup where a motorcycle equipped with adaptive cruise control and a semi-automatic gearbox can automatically downshift while slowing behind traffic. The aim is t...

The KTM 390 Adventure name now belongs to the downsized platform bike, which also serves as the most affordable entry point into KTM’s 390 Adventure lineup. The smaller 349cc engine produces 41.5hp and 33.5Nm – down from the 46hp and 39Nm figures of the older 399cc motor – but retains the same styling, features, and alloy wheel setup as the Adventure X. If you’re considering the new 390 Adventure, here are a few reasons it makes a compelling case, along with a couple of factors that might make you look elsewhere. Reasons to buy the KTM 390 Adventure Excellent value for money The biggest draw of the 350cc 390 Adventure is its price. At Rs 2.81 lakh (ex-showroom), it is around Rs 62,000 more affordable than the Adventure X – which itself recently saw a price hike to Rs 3.43 lakh following new GST regulations. That's a significant difference, and it makes the 390 Adventure accessible to a much wider set of buyers. Despite the lower price, you're not getting a stripped-down produc...

Mercedes-Benz is on something of a portfolio-expansion spree in India, with 12 new model introductions planned for 2026 alone, and the GLC 53 Coupe is one of the chapters in that story. Expected here sometime in early 2027, it steps in to replace the AMG GLC 43, a car that sold modestly, finding around 140 buyers last year.  Mercedes GLC 53 Coupe Design and Engineering Coupe-SUVs are an acquired taste, lending a more special look and feel to a regular SUV.  The thing is, the coupe-SUV body style has never been mainstream. It’s an acquired taste, one that appeals to buyers who want their SUV to look and feel a little more special. The GLC 53 should resonate strongly with exactly that audience, except this time, it arrives with a far more interesting powertrain and considerably more character than the car it replaces, thereby correcting what is considered one of AMG’s biggest missteps, the unloved 2.0-litre four-cylinder. Mercedes GLC 53 Coupe Performance and Refinement Under...
